so, this game is for people who still gives a s**t about a flathaired macho who's sole character feature was loving tits. Let's wait for a great storyline, awesome new ideas that will revolutionize the genre and... actually let's not even notice the game till it's out in 2025... srsly, there has been so much talk about this POS that most people have stopped caring.
laggy, unimpressive camera work, same location over and over again, default LFS cameras, mouse on screen, no sync to the music, no real action to talk about. All in all - 2 minutes worth of meh
Mafia 1 recap :
Tommy is a nobody, until he gets hooked up with the mafia, where he finds Sam and Paulie. They all live happily ever after, apart from Tommy screwing up all the time. Eventually Tommy and Paulie decide to do something stupid behind their bosses back, Sam rats them out and gets killed for it, and Paulie dies.
Mafia 2 recap:
Vito is a nobody, until he gets hooked up with the mafia, where he finds Joe (who he knew before, this time) and Henry. They all live happily ever after, apart from Vito screwing up all the time. Eventually Vito and Joe decide to do something stupid behind their bosses back, Henry rats them out (to the feds this time) and gets killed for it (not by the protagonist this time), and Joe dies (after the final mission this time).
Not seeing much difference to be honest.
Bioware syndrom, much?
Have you actually tried "Freeride extreme" in mafia 1? There's enough people to fill a country who'd tell you you're dead wrong. (and then flame you to death)
Oh yes, completely normal, I mean, my whole neighbourhood is filled with talented rally drivers! I see the park attendant do those stunts on a motorized lawnmower daily (complete with fluorescent lightbulbs crashing, and sliding around people on segways.... pfft... easy!)
Recapping your post - "He is useless because some people can do what he does, and because he does promotion campaigns for his sponsor to earn a living"
Oh yeah, he surely cant drive if he's beaten by those noobs in WRC, I mean COME ON, those guys can't drive for s**t! I've seen grannies do sideways jumps on ice through the forest, between narrow trees!
I'll just recap your post - "he is a useless driver because he is not the fastest guy in the WORLD rally championship"
SRSLY, some of you "experts" are making some seriously retarded statements.
P.S: Just as a side info, in one of the interviews, to a question "do you think you're the best driver in the world at the moment?" he laughed out loud and said "I'm VERY far from it"... Pretty much makes you people look like overly jealous cocks...
ON topic, I kinda liked the promo, waiting for the fullscale driving bits.
I thoroughly recommend beating it first, settling down with a cigarette or some drink (depends on what you are into more) and reflecting upon the up and downsides of the game. It's OK, yes, it's not worth 8 years of waiting, especially when you still have your pink glasses on, raving in utter joy that mafia 2 is actually released. Once you beat it, you sit down, and think about it, was it as epic as 8 years of development could make it? What better games were made in half that time? You'll come to a realization that Mafia 2 is an 8/10 game at best
Yeah... Imma troll on yoo, and remind you how FRIGGIN AWESOME IT WAS to steal a racecar and blast through the streets at night, feeling the beast that it is None of that in M2
On a side note : This game barely scores 8/10 on my board, mostly due to physics (phys-X, not the car driving ones), atmosphere, graphics, and the characters (not the storyline, cause "oops let's do something Don will never find out to get ourselves killed off" has been done before by some other game with a similar name, but without any numbers)
We had a 2 seasons of that comedy with us on a ship. The whole crew watched and laughed so hard at miserable failure that is their so called "crew". But at least they saved the whales.... a bit...
Now you're going to stop doing movies, you're gonna read this http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=53389 , and you're gonna start making at least average ones. Or else I will murder puppies
isn't that what EVERY show does? I mean look at Whale Wars. They try to make being on a boat look like a death defying stunt that requires absolute mastery of every skill ever possible.
